STILL HERE! Muthama denies leaving Kalonzo’s Wiper

Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama has come out to refute allegations that he has ditched Wiper Party, saying that he stands firmly behind the party.

Speaking Friday, Muthama said that is still a member of Wiper, pointing out that he has even secured a ticket to fly the party’s flag in the gubernatorial race.

Muthama had earlier accused Wiper for running unfair party primaries and favouring newcomers over individuals who had stood with the party over the years – factors that, he said, could see him leave the party.

Muthama is now singing a different tune.

“I am not leaving Wiper, (and) when I choose to leave I will leave with all my assets. I had gotten a ticket to stand but chose to join those crying. I am a staunch Wiper follower. If Mutua or Wavinya will be the Machakos governor, I have no right to be the governor,” Muthama said.

Muthama had also blamed party leader Kalonzo of meddling with the party primaries to ensure that his favourites got nomination certificates.
